Further proof that Americans are Imperialists by another name. In lieu of slavery they have the highest levels of inequality in the world, and this inequality is prevented from turning into popular discontent by a prison population of almost 3 million people (predominantly non-whites) who conduct forced, unpaid labour to produce almost costless materiel for a large military. Some of them are serving life sentences for stealing biscuits and bread!

Clearly nobody pointed out to the Americans that their own liberation was secured by a violent uprising!

Hold on there, pardner. This is one of those sites run by loony FEMA / gov'mint-hating, UN flag burning shit kickers. Check out their comments column (to save GCHQ the bother). There's a post from 'the all seeing eye' and another from a Pole; "You are a joke. English kitchen is a joke, so please avoid to comment on other countries. Poland as all the other European countries have a rich kitchen and centuries of amazing dishes. Wake up!"

You'll be telling us that the saintly Duke of Edinburgh murdered the people's princess next.

It is run by Russian state television. But who controls them, eh? Look at their columnists / bloggers:

"Jake is a religious scholar, having studied at the Fuller Theological Seminary. Jake specialists in Religious Conflict and Religious Guerilla Warfare".

"Gerald Celente has earned his reputation as "The most trusted name in trends" ... Gerald Celente, a Close Combat practitioner and black belt trainer, well understands the importance of proacting rather than reacting..."

"Christopher Petrella is a doctoral candidate in the African American Studies Department at the University of California, Berkeley. He ... teaches at San Quentin State Prison".

Not at all - I am actually pro-American. There are usually leading powers in global politics and it is usually better if those leading powers are democracies with term limitations to prevent personal dictatorships from forming. The US is about as benevolent as a superpower is likely to get. Its constitution is quite robust (much more so than the one we don't have here in the UK).

That said I am not blind to what it is - Imperialism by another name. The Bretton Woods institutions and the World Bank are but vessels for coercing the compliance of nations to a pro-US stance (i.e. Free Trade). Just as I am not blind to what the British Empire was (which I am also not purely hostile to either - I have studied it very extensively).

I would like for America to stop needless interference in the internal politics of other democracies. In the long run this is likely to go completely tits up.

Our closest ally in the world, my point is have we become that hypocritical that we topple governments who do exactly the same in their own country? we publically brandish them dictators, evil leaders, yet we share the same policies.

Perhaps people should read their oath of allegence more often. As for RT its independant, the new face for the new Russia, Russia like many other countries try to show its best areas if you want a clearer look at Russia, look at english-russia website, a colletion of real life photos and stories, open and free.

i don't see similar sites with such open and unbiased views from both sides, any of you get a chance, youtube crosstalk on RT, the topics are diverse and informative. Its also interesting that reports on RT then appear on Sky and BBC news sometimes several days later as they try to play catch up.

like most I channel hop around the news sites and piece together my own views and opinions. Lets face it all sky and auntie report on is got to dance, britains got talent, and a fuel strike that hasn't happened.

I said many years ago to friends that european wealth and growth will migrate eastwards as Russia and China open up economically, France and Spain will spiral out of control domestically, Germany buying up all the gold it can at the moment, whilst our little country prepares for the olympics it can ill afford to run, sponsor or control, lets face it, it starts in 4 months, Fuel strikes, possible police strikes, no doubt other essential sercives will hold the gov to ransom over this period - who will pick up the pieces, an overstretched undersized armed Forces.
